Because the command has no parameters it will be difficult ....
Because a validation program may need to REDO all the validation performed
in the original CPP it is a redundant PAIN / PAIN / PAIN / PAIN.
Sorry to tell you no easy way out.  Now What if ... You display al QPWD*
System values and interpret them              and present those values
prior to the execution of the QSYS/CHGPWD command / *OR / Somehow you get
to manipulate the Help Pannel Group for the command (if you can write your
UIM Interface) / *OR / (It does not work all the time) Deactivate/Activate
your attention program to give you those values in some sort of Window.
